The DVCM 50 DVD/VCR Control Module is a four-space Architectural Adapter
Plate (AAP) module that is used for controlling DVDs and VCRs. It can be used
with an MLC 52 or MLC 104 MediaLink Controller, or as a standalone control
module, sending IR signals directly to the DVD or VCR. The DVCM 50 can be
confi gured by the following methods:
• IR learning from a DVD or VCR remote control
• IR data transfer (beaming) from another DVCM that has been confi gured
• Using IR drivers via the Extron’s Windows ® -based confi guration software
program
The DVCM 50 DVD/VCR Control Module Quick Start Guide is designed to give you
an overview of what you need to do to set up and operate your DVCM 50, and to
help you quickly get started using it. For more details regarding the installation,
operation, and confi guration of the DVCM 50, refer to the DVCM 50 User’s Manual,
